The path of those whom You have favoured not (the path) of those who earn Your anger nor of those who go astray.

You only do we worship, and You only do we beg for help.

All praise be to Allāh, Lord of the worlds. In the Name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

The Imam has carefully selected the words in the supplications, and his selection alludes to his extensive knowledge of Allah. There is a purpose behind the order, sequence, and number. His aim is to inform the people that each invocation in the Ratib has an intentional purpose and it is not a random compilation. Not only does he lay down the foundations, but he expounds on each topic, eventually covering the levels of Islam, Iman and Ihsan. In his extraordinary work, Habib Alawi has laid down the foundations of the religion in light of the Ratib, the famous litany of his grandfather, the Axial Saint, Imam Abdallah bin Alawi al-Haddad.
